DESIGN

If we follow the trend, this year should be
the year that Apple releases their new iPhone with a new design. This time they
might be going the other way as rumours appeared showing the design of the new
device to be of similar dimensions and overall shape with the current ones
albeit with minor changes.
The antenna band lines are now moved to the
top and the bottom of the phone, no longer cutting the back.
The rear camera hump is still there but the
size of the camera on the iPhone 7 will be bigger while we might see
dual-camera on the iPhone 7 Plus/Pro (like the Huawei P9).
The
earphone jack is said to be excluded from this year’s iPhone. Whether that is
wise or not depends on you and your usage.The following article discusses on
the issue (BGR).
To reduce the impact of the former move,
Apple is said to be including a free 3.5mm to Lightning adapter so that you can
use your existing set of earphones/headphones.

Some rumours stated that this year’s
earpods would definitely be different, having a lightning head instead. Photos
(and now even videos) of it are circulating the internet.

"The biggest planned change in this year's phones is the removal of the headphone plug, which will make the phone thinner and improve its water resistance," according to the report. Going forward, you'll be able to use the phone's Lightning connector to not only juice up your phone, but also plug in headphones. All in all, the next iPhone should be 1mm thinner than current models, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told the Journal.

The size and the dimensions are said to be
similar as the previous generation though it will be slightly thinner.
This year is also rumoured to be the first
year that Apple releases three variants of its iPhone: iPhone: iPhone 7, iPhone
7 Plus, iPhone 7 Pro. Or, the iPhone 7 Plus could be launched as the iPhone 7
Pro, where the size would be bigger than the iPhone 7 and would incorporate
better technologies.

In terms of colours, we might be seeing a
new one. “Deep Blue” coloured iPhone has been spotted abd it sure looks cool.
The Space Gray might be swapped for an all-black colour scheme. All rumoured by
China Unicom.
SCREEN
Screen size is said to be kept at 4.7 and
5.5 inch (Pro is rumoured to be 5.5-inch as well)

CPU
The expected processor powering this year’s
iPhone is most likely be the A10.
The RAM will differ according to the
variant: iPhone 7 – 2GB, iPhone 7Plus/Pro – 3GB
CAMERA
We might be getting two types of camera on
this year’s iPhones. One is a single 12MP camera which is bigger and should
have a bigger aperture as well while the second one is a set of two 12MP
cameras said to be found on the iPhone 7 Plus/Pro.

Other
sources state that the dual-camera is now cancelled considering the fact that
the technology is not yet matured.

BATTERY
As of now, some are saying that the space left by the audio jack would be utilised to fit in a bigger battery. Though some others also noted that if the iPhone is indeed made thinner, the battery would be slightly reduced. Don't put your hopes up too high that there is going to be a major improvement in this category.
AUDIO
The space that is now gained from the removal of the earphone jack would then be replaced with a second speaker.
